Mind is the Ride

Shortlisted for the 2020 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award`s Lonely Planet Debut Travel Writer of the YearWhen Jet McDonald cycled four thousand miles to India and back, he didn`t want to write a straightforward travel book. He wanted to go on an imaginative journey.`Mind is the Ride` takes the reader on a physical and intellectual adventure from West to East using the components of a bike as a metaphor for philosophy, which is woven into the cyclist`s experience.Each chapter is based around a single component, and as Jet travels he adds new parts and new philosophies until the bike is `built`; the ride to India is completed; and the relationship between mind, body and bicycle made apparent. The age of the travelogue is over: today we need to travel inwardly to see the world with fresh eyes.`Mind is the Ride` is that journey, a pedal-powered antidote to the petrol-driven philosophies of the past.
